If Zsa Zsa Padilla is blooming again these days, it must be because, according to a Funfare’s VDPA (Very Deep Penetration Agent), she has found a new love.
“I saw them holding hands at Legaspi Market in Makati,†said the VDPA who moves in elite circles, “and they looked so romantic, so sweet. Kakainggit!â€
Well, it’s about time Zsa Zsa started living again now that the traditional year-long period for her husband Dolphy is over. Dolphy died on July 10, 2012. Only a few months after, Zsa Zsa was diagnosed to have a golf-ball-sized tumor in her kidney which was found to be benign when she sought a second opinion at the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.
And who’s the guy who has rekindled Zsa Zsa’s grieving heart?
“He’s a famous architect slightly older than Zsa Zsa,†said the VDPA. “Debonair, drop-dead handsome, fine-mannered, moneyed and fancy-free again after two failed marriages. In short, he’s what you call God’s gift to women, kasing-guapo ni Piolo Pascual. His first name will remind people of a five-star hotel.â€
Will Zsa Zsa ask him to escort her to the wedding of her and ex-husband Dr. Modesto Tatlonghari’s daughter Karylle and Yael Yuzon very, very soon?
